Time Slips

Lost

There was a horror

a decade ago,

it was in a store

it gave me quite a blow.

I was skipping along,

only three years old,

holding my mommy's hand

but then she let go...

At first I didn't comprehend,

I just bounced over to a bright pink aisle

looking at the tiaras near the end,

I was there for a while.

But then I realized that she was gone

and then i realized more

I was a helpless fawn

In a very big store.

What should I do, I thought to myself

I zoomed from aisle to aisle

I looked past every shelf

It felt like I ran a mile.

I can't go to the lady

at the checkout

she's too shady

she has a very big snout.

I thought and I thought

about where she could be,

maybe she was where I left her

I thought I had the key.

I skipped to the aisle

where she let go,

next to a boxed pile

and now I know,

She was there the whole time

in the same place

I was so relieved

you should have seen my face.

I ran up to her and said ugh!

I missed you there for awhile!

Then I gave her a hug

which made her smile.

So if you ever get lost

and can't find your mom,

just look where she was

and remember, stay calm!
